Bold statement: The Doxa SUB 250T GMT Great White Topper Edition reimagines a beloved classic with a sharper edge, adding a distinctive marine conservation story and a few provocative design choices that invite discussion.
Following the successful collab between Doxa and Topper Jewelers last year on the white-hot SUB 300T Great White, the partnership returns in 2025 with a new member: the SUB 250T GMT Great White Topper Edition. Limited to 100 pieces, this release expands on the compact, travel-ready SUB 250T GMT introduced earlier in the year, infusing the line with a refreshed vibe that stays true to the brand’s ocean-forward spirit while adding notable, one-of-a-kind details.
At the heart of the watch is a tribute to Northern California’s Great White Sharks roaming the Gulf of the Farallones. The color palette—white and blue paired with a deep Pacific navy—evokes both the predator’s presence and the sea’s vastness. A portion of proceeds supports marine conservation through the Greater Farallones Association, underscoring the model’s regional purpose.
The 40mm stainless steel case preserves Doxa’s signature cushion silhouette, with brushed surfaces and a flat sapphire crystal. The unidirectional steel bezel carries dual scales for elapsed time and “no-deco” dive timing, filled in navy lacquer to recall Doxa’s rugged, utilitarian roots. A screw-down crown and a solid engraved caseback featuring the San Francisco Bay and Farallon Islands emphasize the regional inspiration. Water resistance remains at 250m.
Day and night, the edition shines: the dial is fully luminescent, coated with Super-LumiNova BGW9 and emits a vivid blue glow in the dark. Navy blue lacquer accents on the hands and applied indices provide striking contrast against the glowing background. The design intentionally omits a date window to preserve perfect symmetry. A 24-hour GMT hand enables simultaneous tracking of a second time zone. Power comes from an automatic Sellita SW330-2 Elaboré-grade movement with caller-style GMT functionality and a 50-hour reserve.
The watch ships with Doxa’s stainless steel Beads-of-Rice bracelet, featuring a folding clasp and wetsuit extension, plus a second integrated navy blue FKM rubber strap with a matching clasp for versatility. This is a strictly limited production run of 100 pieces, priced at USD 2,990 and available exclusively through Topper Jewelers.
